Lots of rooms still available at the Westin

I was looking at the Westin's website and I was trying to reserve a room for myself and my friend from july 1st-6th...it Says that there are no rooms available is that a glitch still or there are actually no more rooms to reserve?

I want to throw this out for any and all other people that may be using a "Check Card" rather than a credit card to make a room reservation. This is what happened to me.

I called on the day the room block opened for general guests and made my reservation for my usual set up for my room share with full knowledge that I would be paying for 2 room nights in advance. The money was in my account and all was well.

Having dealt with hotels in the past and knowing that there systems are often slow to do there jobs I waited a week and watched my account. No money was paid to the hotel, I called them and was informed that "Oh the accounting department hasnt submitted that yet" I said ok and I waited.

So as to not drag this out I had to call 4 times to get them to take the money out of my account and when they finally did it was almost 30 days later. My biggest reason for posting this is to warn anyone to keep an eye on your account and don't think you have extra mad money to spend. If you have to call the Hotel back then be respectful and patient. These people have a hard job so dont make it worse by being argumentative or rude.

Just an FYI
See you all at the best dang Con on the Planet
